From the organizer:

You are invited to the screening of Man Bites Dog – a Belgian black comedy crime mockumentary.

MAN BITES DOG (1992)
96′ / Dir – Benoît Poelvoorde, Rémy Belvaux, André Bonzel

“Mostly, Benoit is an ordinary sort of guy.

One passion, however, is unusual: he regularly commits murder

So intriguing is Benoit’s deadly charm that a film crew decide to make a documentary about him; and come to like him so much that they start facilitating, then collaborating in, his crimes.

This spoof fly-on-the-wall documentary is funny, scary, provocative, and profoundly disturbing. It’s a witty, uncompromising acknowledgment of both film-makers’ and audiences’ often unhealthy fascination with the spectacle of violence and reality TV.”

Language: French, with English subtitles
